Nadeau has been importing quality furniture for the past 15 years. Having our doors open to the retail public with several retail stores in our family of locations, we are now selling directly to the customers themselves. The unique part of our transition is that we are continuing to sell our items at true wholesale prices; equating to about 1/3 of the price of high-end stores that we supplied in the past. We are able to do this due to a variety of reasons. One are our long standing relationships with suppliers in all our countries of origin. This means consistency, and stable sourcing growth. Another is our approach to payments- we work with them on good terms (we do not use letters of credit as is the norm in the industry). We also maintain low operating expenses and, coinciding with our ability to have an ever changing mix of inventory, we ship our containers directly to our locations and not through distribution centers. This allows for not only lower shipping costs, but also for a unique breadth of product that is greatly influenced by the individual market any one location is in.
